OUR WORK
Our teams in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, USA, and India consist of highly qualified professionals with years of experience in undercover investigations, corporate campaigns, political outreach and the development of large-scale education programmes.
OUR COMMITMENT
With over ten years of experience in international campaigns, we are committed to saving as many animals as possible and to reducing the enormous suffering animals endure on factory farms. Our commitment to continually assessing the impact of our campaigns and programmes makes us increasingly efficient at saving lives.
Save Animals, Eat Plant‑Based

Our work
Animal Equality works strategically in four distinct areas to ensure progress for animals.
OUR CAMPAIGNS
Animal Equality uses a broad range of strategic campaigns to ensure all animals are treated with compassion.

Rooney Mara
Activist and actress, speaking about her experience inside a pig farm
